More quotes by Vernon Howard
Inner liberty can be judged by how often a person feels offended, for you can no more insult a mature man than you can paint the air.
Vernon Howard
It is a thousand times more sensible to climb one foot up the mountainside than to chatter for years about the mountaintop.
Vernon Howard
Awareness of your weakness and confusion makes you strong because conscious awareness is the bright light that destroys the darkness of negativity. Detection of inner negativity is not a negative act, but a courageously positive act that makes you a new person.
Vernon Howard
When told that man lives in delusion everyone thinks of himself as the exception hence his delusion.
Vernon Howard
We are slaves to whatever we don't understand.
Vernon Howard
Quit thinking that you must halt before the barrier of inner negativity. You need not. You can crash through... whatever we see a negative state, that is where we can destroy it.
Vernon Howard
Is the beam from a lighthouse affected by howling wind and rain? It remains perfectly steadfast and unaffected by the storm. Your true self is like that. Nothing can ever harm you once you are consciously aware that it is so.
Vernon Howard
What you really want for yourself is always trying to break through, just as a cooling breeze flows through an open window on a hot day. Your part is to open the windows of your mind.
Vernon Howard
Instead of fighting your problems, picture your way out of them.
Vernon Howard
Interpretation blocks reception while masquerading as reception. Rightness does not need interpretation it requires simple acceptance and nothing else.
Vernon Howard
Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn, and you will.
Vernon Howard
Resistance to the disturbance is the disturbance.
Vernon Howard
Don't look for someone in whom to believe. Believe in yourself. The only authentic authority is your own original nature.
Vernon Howard
We can accept God becoming Man to save Man, but not Man becoming God to save himself.
Vernon Howard
Run forward when possible, walk ahead when you can, stagger onward when you must, but never cease your forward movement.
Vernon Howard
The leap is made by dropping vanity over knowledge and by a willingness to become nothing in order to become everything.
Vernon Howard
We can no more enjoy life by hoping for a future result than we can enjoy music by waiting for the final note.
Vernon Howard
Don't try to be unafraid. That is impossible. Rather, go ahead while being afraid. That is the entire secret for abolishing fear. The Supermind teaches us to have no self-concern at all. Whatever happens to you, act as though it happened to someone else.
Vernon Howard
Just as surely as distress must follow self-deceit, healing must follow self-honesty.
Vernon Howard
Who asks a king for a penny?
